[QUOTE="Working4TheBene's, post: 174778, member: 5903"] Sure you think that you can implement changes that will ultimately change not only the work flow, but the morale of your employees. I think morale is such a huge problem everywhere. When upper management says you have to have a certain bph, then they do not care abnout you or your employees' morale, they just want to hit their goal mark. Consequently, your employees' morale will suffer, therefore, so will their productivity. As far as supervisors go, you do not really have any job security. Even mid upper managemtn can be let go or moved around... part of UPS upper mgmt strategy is to move people around... from facility to another facility... therefore, there is always a threat above your head that they will use against you if you do not hit those target numbers. Now remember, for instance, it is difficulty for an outsider to come in and say unload (or load) a certain amount of packages if you have never done it yourself... but if you work at UPS and then get promoted, at least you would earn some respect and your employees will know where you are coming from when you are directing them... FYI - As for me, I just took and passed the MAPP assessment (mgmt test). My test results were high enough so it qualified me for the part time supe as well as the full time supe position. However, when I passed, I asked for 2 weeks to consider my options, and it is just about two weeks now... FYI - I will be telling them that I am no longer interested. (I really only took it to show them that not all employees are "monkeys" - that is how most if not all hourly employees are referred to...) This is also due to in light of a huge management shakeup at my facility... new faces, some old faces, promotions, demotions, etc... [/QUOTE]
